Excited.

At some point you got to move on - now was the right time.

Jimmy G to the Raiders so Jets can basically go Lamar or Rodgers.

Part of this all goes back to - there are many teams with cap space all trying to make moves; So you may like player X or Y - but if the player is that good - you know others are going to dance too. How you win - but also how agile you can be to find the next guys and build your squad is important.

Sean Payton - offensive guru - and 2 top olinemen signed within first 90 minutes of free agency. Hmmm.

Hargraves off the board too. 4yr 80M. Will be interesting to see how the Bears pivot - cause I have to think they are getting a bit more nervous now.

Bears still in on Okereke as a WLB; seperately - Bmags guy, Ben Powers headed to Denver.

His stats were fantastic last year - obviously was surrounded by a lot of talent but total contract was very reasonable. 12M guaranteed over 3 years. Evidently they are going hard after McGlinchey and Jones (although I think Jones is headed to Browns). I'd like one more LB - this is a deep FA class and you can probably get two really good ones for the price of one Roquan Smith (maybe even a little less). I feel like if they can't get Jones - they will pivot to Hargraves though.

If they move one of Mooney or Claypool - than I'll take the wideout, otherwise I really can't see how you can take a wideout. Feels like one of the offensive tackles is where they go - or top dlinemen remaining.

I want Broncos tackle, one of the right tackles, and Edwards (Bills lb is still pretty young).

He’s very good - so I have no issue. Him or the tackles or a trade down and Bijan.

They have a 2nd rounder - it is a pretty early one.

This is fair and I am not arguing either. Overall I am happy with the outcome. Not elated but happy. Solid move.

For the record - I would have preferred getting the Panthers other 2nd (plus the one we already got) and a 2025 1st vs Moore. I’d than take my chances on finding a wideout and having the shot at getting two blue chip players in next two years on rookie deals with those high end picks. Hindsight 20/20 - do this trade and don’t do the Claypool trade but revisionist history.

I believe Moore gets you a #1 - so I think this actually is 3 #1's. I recall teams offering that last season and I don't imagine his rate would have changed between than and now.

Moore signed his deal before the FA wr market blew up last year. They got him at a 25 percent plus discount of what he would get if he were a ufa this offseason.

I do think DJ Moore is a good fit for Fields. Good route runner - creates seperation. If Mooney is back to healthy with Claypool and Kmet that is a way better receiving corps. Good speed, plus some size. Velus as a gadget guy and ESB as a depth piece. Seperately - get an explosive running back, upgrade line, and this offense is much better on paper than where they started last year. And if Fields doesn’t work - you have 2 frp next year to turn into your next qb.

Ideally they could have squeezed the Panthers earlier 2nd rounder.

Yeah - I knew he signed but didn’t realize bears were on hook for such a reasonable deal.

I wanted more…but probably because I am undervaluing DJ Moore in sense I would like one wideout on a rookie scale deal Vs now we have 3 who all want to be paid. That said - they have cap space and this clearly gives Fields way more options.

He is wiry, athletic and his swing is sweet. He looked every bit of the part when I saw him take BP (stood out). Obviously small sample size - but that swing was pretty. Of course I said the same thing the first time I saw Ryan Sweeney too haha.

What channel are the games on?

f*** cancer. Hope your buddy gets good news.

Love it - Waiting for it - someone please bump this on the 28th so I don't forget.

162 games a year vs. 17 games a year (regular season). If NBA games went 3:20 to 3:30 on a regular basis I'd have an issue with that too.
